Installing VLC on Debian GNU/Linux
If you are using Debian Lenny, Squeeze, Wheezy, or Sid then you can install VLC using the Apt manager.
Just log into a terminal, "Accessories>Terminal" as root, using either sudo or su, (if this is confusing, type "man sudo" or "man su", without the quotation marks, for detailed instructions) then type the following and you are done:
# apt-get install vlc
Look out there are many deprecated vlc based packages like gnome-vlc etc. Just installing vlc will do.
Many vlc plugins can be installed afterwards (some of these are no longer used and are "dummy packages"):
vlc-plugin-alsa - ALSA audio output plugin for VLC (install it if sound doesn't work) vlc-plugin-arts - aRts audio output plugin for VLC (install it if sound still doesn't work and you're using KDE) vlc-plugin-esd - Esound audio output plugin for VLC (install it if sound still doesn't work and you're using Gnome) vlc-plugin-ggi - GGI video output plugin for VLC vlc-plugin-glide - Glide video output plugin for VLC vlc-plugin-sdl - SDL video and audio output plugin for VLC vlc-plugin-svgalib - SVGAlib video output plugin for VLC mozilla-plugin-vlc - the VLC plugin for Mozilla based browsers
All the above plugins are available in Debian Etch as well.
Nvidia problem with VLC in Debian
If you use nvidia-xconfig it's possible that the screen goes into standby when playing a movie with vlc. To correct the problem, we must comment (put a # in front of the line) on the option "DPMS" in your file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'.
